What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
How we handle remedial sealant in Orpington
In Orpington, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you have decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and a second bead peeling off the first, we can help, whatever the surface.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Orpington, remedial sealant is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Common problems we fix in Orpington
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
As a London address, Orpington can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Remedial sealant in Orpington: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Orpington. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Perry Hall Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near St Mary Cray station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a London area like Orpington, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Orpington, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Common questions in Orpington
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Orpington?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you work for landlords with property near St Mary Cray station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.

Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Orpington?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
